As we consider what it means to be in service to those around us, there are not many examples more clear and concrete than feeding our hungry neighbors. A Dallas-based non-profit, Body & Soul, has seen the need and is answering the call. This organization seeks to inspire persons experiencing homelessness to lead hopeful and productive lives. And for over 20 years, First United Methodist Church Richardson has been active in helping achieve this goal.
This episode consists of two conversations. The first is with Rev. Joy Anderson, who is the Director of Missions & Outreach at First United Methodist Richardson. The second features Jane Aitchison & Joe Olguin; a married couple who have been serving at Body & Soul for over two decades. Both conversations beautifully highlight the important, life-changing, belly-filling work that is happening at Body & Soul. And both remind us that the call to our faith has just as much to do with our hands and feet as it does with our head and hearts.
